Death Is Just A Change David Lynch has gone on to whatever the next place is. I’m very sad about it; it came at a hard time for the city of Los Angeles, a place he dearly loved, and it’s hard not to think his change of cons...

Really sorry to hear about the sudden passing of Kaleb Horton, a fantastic writer. Only seems fitting to share what he wrote for David Lynch kalebhorton.ghost.io/death-is-jus...

A cow wearing a t-shirt with the word "SICKOWS" on it looks through a window at 4 crudely made tools and says "YES... HA HA HA... YES!!"

day 46 of making a cow tools every day unless i don't

Yeah this is the thing, he’s so universally unpopular outside politics that every time someone defends him it just makes him look guiltier, and them look guilty by association

I think this is correct although TT is split between Viggo and Serkis

The film raises the possibility that Ghost Dog could have chosen to live his life by the example of The Wind in the Willows

The government wants us back in the office because they realised we were regularly accessing the full power of eating leftovers with a fried egg for lunch. They want to make sure only the powers can be can access that much deliciousness.

Agree on Oklou and Ninajirachi, would add Caroline, John Glacier and Jefre Cantu-Ledesma to that, maybe Darkside as well.

Try Not to Breathe is so beautiful

Eric Roberts, pictured here filming some movie that literally does not exist except for tax purposes, already manifesting what he’ll buy with his annual accumulation of 100 pay cheques

Kind of respect the fact that he’s happy just having a routine and a regular schedule to keep him off the hard stuff and seems fine with it.

Ah yes, just a perfectly normal way of using binoculars

Surprised the recent Walton Goggins hype didn’t lead to more of a boost for The Shield

I’ve tried reading it twice and lost all momentum at the exact same point both times.

Why is he painstakingly selecting all his own music choices instead of paying Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross to phone in another half hearted riff on the Social Network score?

“This mfer got a distinct aesthetic and authorial voice!” such a funny criticism of a filmmaker

I know there were lots of shorts after but that last episode of The Return is surely one of the hardest final major works ever. It's incredible the whole season exists ofc but that hour is recapper proof, youtuber fantheory proof, merch proof, nostalgia proof. I think about it all the time.

We have a book at my job about the history of photography and the occult and the pictures are predictably completely fucking wild

Every time someone else from it passes away it feels like more of small miracle, made at the last possible moment it could have been made
